All I know for sure is after Biden's regime was removed from the equation everybody is suddenly talking about an end to hostilities and peace. While we're only in the posturing phase expect it to happen with a deal acceptable to all.

True and media like the Washington Post and NY Times, and networks such as ABC and CBS have been propaganda organs for the Washington establishment. So who to believe and why expect either is giving you the complete truth?

Who's lying? All you guys that fantasize about Trump being in Putin's pocket. A tall tale absent facts or proof. What you knuckleheads can't comprehend is the big picture. Not having Russia as an adversary is more important than Biden's project Ukraine when it comes to playing the game with the big boys in the coming battle to the death with China.

So far these tariffs are more a policy hammer than an inflationary price increase because few to none are actually in effect. And all these DOGE cuts are clearly deflationary by taking money out of circulation. If they're nothing else they'll trigger a recession around the DC area with things like real estate values droping as lots of people move out of the center of government being shrunk. Add to that high nation wide unemployment among the political activist profession.

If you believe this is going to happen what personal financial decisions are you making and what investment strategies are you using to protect yourself from such a downturn?

How so? The border is secure. The cartels are being targeted. Attention is being focused on main threat China. An inefficient and corrupt beauacracy is being extinguished.

Don't know but he did play for the Sabres when he had the fatal car crash on, i think, the QEW. I wonder if younger hockey fans know that or care. Tim was paired on defense at times with Jim Shoenfeld. The team could use that type of grit on D now. After his death his widow sold Tim's stake in the company to his business partner well before the franchise took off. But I recall the story was later, when the company was worth big money, he gave the family a big check representing much of Tim's original share. A very Canadian-like act for sure.

I can speak fluent Canadian so no worries. Remember to bring donuts and memorize the menu board at Tim Horton's.

America's liberal intellectuals who never saw a hockey game in their entire life, celebrated after some guy named Connor scored the winning home run.

I contend people that believe the U.S. entering WW2 in Europe early would have some major impact on the war, like defeating Germany early in the conflict, are viewing the military capabilities of America through the lens of our current position as global leader. And not from the perspective of that era. In 1939 the size of the U.S. Army was 180,000 which ranked 19th in the world. By contrast, Germany at the time had a force of 4.5 million soldiers, 25 times larger than America's Army. Add in the superiority of German armor, aircraft, weapons systems, and technology at the time and I'd argue an early entry, which was opposed by so-called isolationists, well before a sufficiently large force size was marshaled, capably armed, was available would have left our country virtually undefended and quite possibly led to defeat against Japan in the Pacific. And victory by Nazi Germany in Europe because our forces would have been wiped out early on. The moral might be look before you leap.

Just a few things. Trump is far from perfect but he's dismantling the left's government and NGO system of control by cutting off its money and eventually starving it to death. We're already finding the majority of their street protesters only show up when there's a paycheck. Without the taxpayers money the crowds are the size of a football huddle. Apparently, the social security database has about 33 million people over 100 years old with a death date set to "false". One possibility is monthly checks are being sent to someone else, somewhere. This is potential and likely fraud. How can this happen? The SS director has resigned. Who could possibly be against cleaning up this mess? Thousands of Federal workers are taking voluntary separation offers. Others, mostly probationary employees are being let go. The impact could be small or large, who knows at this point. But they can't keep spending 2 to 4 trillion every year above what's collected in taxes. And taxes need to come down. Not just federal but state and local. The war in Ukraine is going to end. It was a complete waste. I don't blame Ukraine for starting it. I blame the US State Department led by Victoria Nuland and the CIA. At some point we'll find out the true cost of lives lost by Ukraine. The numbers will be shocking. The US border is now secure and the process is in reverse as many are leaving and others deported. Billions spent and wasted under Biden, much of it diverted away from funds allocated and needed elsewhere.

Dismantling the mechanisms used by liberals to spread their insanity courtesy of the taxpayers.

That must be a really great hammer. The vendor must have sold them to the Pentagon under the description "maximum force adjustment device" in order to charge such a premium.

2 Senators out of what? 63. That's hardly a consensus of disapproval.

It's easy to get scientists to publicly reject the lab origin conclusion when they're handsomely compensated to believe something else while making it quite clear that expressing an opinion supporting the lab origin theory can result in both personal consequences.

As many here opposed to inciting and funding the conflict have said from the beginning, this was never about saving Ukranian democracy. It was about weakening Russia and thwarting efforts to integrate the Russian economy with western Europe. Simply, there are other priorities and bigger fish to fry now (that always existed but were ignored by the Biden crew). So don't be surprised by Trump's efforts to move Russia out of its arrangements with China. This is the start. Clearly, China is the biggest threat to the US. Other aspects of this new focus are efforts to drive Chinese influence our of the western hemisphere. Shifting the current 2 on 1 arrangement in our favor is a likely strategic goal. You can shake your pom poms and shout your slogans all you want but China's the target now. Not Russia, to the dismay of the war enthusiasts out there. Given they're out of positions of power and authority they're left to complaining.

No its not. Its about my skepticism over the conclusions of professional liars. And your unwavering believe in "experts".

Well the CIA does lie a lot. And isn't lying an important part of their mission? Gather intelligence on friends and enemies. Misinform and dis-inform those very same friends and enemies. Avoid transparency with the public at all costs. I'd say those are 3 main strategic goals of the agency. This back-and-forth is more about you believing an implausible conclusion than it is me. And we can find many researchers and scientists that conclude its a lab engineered organism. But they got silenced very early on.

And right back at ya.

No because the Wuhan lab is right down the street and only a mind-blowing idiot would dismiss that as the most likely source.

The first clue is there's a biolab down the street performing gain of function research on the COVID virus. And although you can't pry the truth out of China with the jaws of life its believed patient zero worked at the lab. Given that I have low confidence the CIA's low confidence in the lab theory is credible.

What the wonderful J6 Committee and their report gave us was a detailed accounting of the actions of the protesters and the subset of that group that participated in violent activity. Down to every last detail. The government spent unlimited resources parsing through thousands of hours of video and social media posts to track down, arrest, try, convict, and imprison every person they could identity with maximum sentences in the worst conditions they could be incarcerated. Even some that weren't even there that day. But what they didn't spend a minute on was look into what various government agencies, informants, confidential sources, and others did or didn't do that day or generate any insights into the motivations of these people. Like not calling out The Guard. Or who made the call? Those are a couple simple things to figure out. You just round up the right people and ask the right questions. Like "why didn't you call out the national guard if you thought there was a threat to democracy or a threat to the electoral certification, or people's lives were in danger?" Now we're going to find out and there are a lot of people inside these agencies that are profusely sweating it out.

What's those pointing out about the need for free speech "boundaries" always fail to mention is they believe they're the proper people to set those boundaries.

Should have titled this thread "feel good thread for tds patients".

The way I see it Trump has abruptly brought an end to what's been about a 75 year trend in the growth of government and people that this system is sucking dry are happy and people that benefit and depend on it are not happy. All they can do is raise concens about suffering orphans and widows as mentioning their real concern which is their mid-six figure lifestyle that's been generously funded by the taxpayers making much less won't play well.
